Manufacturers have for a long time now wired recreational trailers with a suitably sized resettable circuit breaker in the main trailer cable connected to the battery's positive terminal so just because you're adding a battery disconnect switch there's no need to add additional fuses ... nor would one want to when the better choice has already been provided for you in the form of a CB that resets itself.
Disagree completely......:B
There is no harm in protecting the wire and switch between the circuit breaker and the battery. In fact, it is best practice. Mobile industry standards are to place circuit protection within 18" of the battery and many trailer mfg's fudge this by locating the resettable breaker on the frame, some a few feet from the batteries.
But again, these are small talking points and, like the tangent of dual circuit switches serve to only confuse the OP. He wishes to only disconnect his batteries from the parasitic draws of the trailer while in storage.
